Thanks again for everyone's well wishes so far.
I'm still under going active chemotherapy and radiation treatments every week. This coming week will be my last four days of radiation (thank God!), then one more chemo infusion a week from Monday. They say there will be some bad days ahead for a few weeks after all the treatments (33 consecutive radiations and 5 once a week chemo days) end.
I have a feeding tube sticking out of my stomach, to get all my food that way. The interior of my throat is just too sore to eat by mouth.
Hopefully by early December I should be on the path to a remission. By February another PET Scan will be done to reassess my state of health with respect to the Cancer. I hope I will get a clean bill of health by then!
My wife and Son have been helping me as caregivers at home and being driven back and forth to Cancer Treatment Center in Santa Clara (Kaiser hospital). My wife has been managing all my meds and feeding me through the tube. Fortunately, we are both retired.
My neck surgery still has not fully healed, so I do not yet have the ability to turn my neck. Therefore, I cannot drive to the treatment center myself. My Son has missed many days of work because of this damn disease.
To make this post pertinent to the CB1100, my Son was just here visiting and to return my CB1100 and exchange it for my Bonneville. It is a nice day for a ride and I wished I could go with him for a short ride. I haven't been riding for 3 months and its agonizing to be laid up for so long. Well, at least my Son gets to have some fun with my bike(s).
Btw, let me be the first to wish everyone a Happy Holidays.
Cheers!
